Well, ole Schwartzie's got some 'splaining to do in his post game presser.

That's an incredibly stupid rule. Is the league trying to cut down on the damage done by red flags thrown on plays that are automatically reviewed? I can see the unsportsmanlike penalty because some would throw it just out of frustration but to nullify any chance at a review is absurd._________________

Yes, I agree. It is an incredibly stupid rule. But it seemed like he knew he had messed up right away.

Either way the refs should've ruled Forsett down to begin with. Really wasn't close at all.

I was really hoping one of the Lions RB's would've gotten up from the bottom of a pile and just ran to the endzone just to be an [inappropriate/removed], but oh well.

But I guess all I hope for is, in situations like that, why can't common sense just take over. Everyone knows what the right call is. Call it down and give the Texans the 15 yard penalty on Schwartz.
